Each year
Garver chooses two Spirit of Garver Award winners—one from the technical side
of the house and one from the administrative side—who will receive company-wide
acknowledgment as well as a cash bonus. The award recognizes employees for outstanding
achievements and contribution to the company while exhibiting passion,
dedication, and leadership as they aid their teams in pursuing Garver’s goals
of being a strong, respected, and profitable company.

Employees are initially nominated for the Spirit of Garver
Award by someone within the company, and then a selection committee narrows the
list down to 10 finalists who are interviewed before the winners are chosen in
October.
